[Verse 1: Onitsha]
Things have been so crazy and hectic
I should've gotten there by now
I always thought I'd be the one to make it
It's probably better anyhow
[Refrain]
If this is how my story goes (turning pages)
What's its doing, nobody knows, but God
[Chorus]
If the spotlight makes you nervous
If you're looking for a purpose
[Verse 2: Drake]
You put the tea in the kettle and light it
Put your hand on the metal, and feel it
But do you even feel it anymore?
I remember when you thought I was joking
Now I'm off singing karaoke
Further than I've ever been
[Refrain]
If this is how my story goes (turning pages)
What tomorrow has us doing, nobody knows, but God
[Verse 3]
Isn't it ironic?
Ain't it funny how sometimes we got our own plan
And life can just switch it up?
When life be dealing them losing hands
And leave you feeling like giving up
Sometimes it's hard to find a smile
Keep ya head up
Feel like it ain't gonna happen, no never
When defeat is not the magic door (it's hard to not open)
And the pain that you feel is hardcore
I know they say the first love is the sweetest
It's those memories of my sweetest, I was 15 when I started
Time flies, sometimes I feels like
It's happening for everybody but me
But I won't forget the promise I remember what he told me:
I hope that you can tell
I was only tryna get ahead
(I was only tryna get ahead)
[Chorus]
If the spotlight makes you nervous
Don't you worry, don't you fear
Worries can't fill up your cares, ohhh
And you're looking for a purpose
Many plans in the minds of man, only God's purpose will stand, ohhh
I was only tryna get ahead
I was only tryna get ahead
But the spotlight makes you nervous
It makes you nervous, woahhh, yeah
